RE: CF83 status COMPLETED - What next?
Hi,
Your personal tax account (PTA) will always show shortfalls of National Insurance contributions at the voluntary class 3 rate. As you have a letter from our International Team to allow you to pay voluntary class 2 contributions then please work off this rather than the PTA.
Thank you. -
RE: CF83 Questions
Hi,
We can confirm that you will not be penalised for any delay that you experience in receiving a reply from us. Your query will be in our system which will have the date that we received it and we would always allow individuals to pay voluntary contributions at the rates in force when we received their queries.
Thank you.

RE: Living Abroad - paying Class 3 years for time when living in UK (missed because of university)
Hi,
You were right in using the reference number that you did. If your payment is not recorded on your personal tax account (PTA) then you will need to contact our National Insurance team and they will be able to arrange for your payment to be allocated to your National Insurance account.
National Insurance: general enquiries
Thank you.

RE: Tax Credits Overpayment Repayments Cleared by HMRC
Hi,
You should have received a letter to confirm Tax Credits has stopped the Direct Debit for the debt. You can see guidance here:
Tax credits overpayments
When you transfer to Universal Credit any debt is sent to DWP also. DWP should contact you to start recovery of the outstanding balance. We do not have a timescale for this. However, if you are worried you can contact the DWP debt management team. More information on the outstanding balance and contacting DWP Debt Management can be found here:

RE: Should we claim higher rate tax payer pension relief on salary sacrifice pension?
Hi,
If you pay into your pension scheme before your employer calculates the tax to deduct from your earnings, then you are receiving tax relief at source and no further relief is due. This would be the case with salary sacrifice.
If you pay into the pension scheme after your income has been taxed, you can claim higher rate tax relief, through a Self Assessment tax return, if you need to complete one, page TR4 of SA100, or in writing, providing supporting evidence of payments from your pension provider.
Thank you. -
RE: Private residence relief (period of relief)
Hi,
When you acquire a second property or more, you need to notify HMRC in writing, which property is to be your main residence, within 2 years. If you do not do this, HMRC will determine which property is your main residence, based solely on the facts of the case.
Private Residence Relief, allows an additional 9 months, when calculating the number of months that the property was your main residence. You can see guidance here:
HS283 Private Residence Relief (2023)

RE: Can interest on bank savings be paid into a SIPP?
Hi,
Interest is taxed as income, but it does not count towards working out your earnings threshold for tax relief on pension payments. You can pay the interest into your pension scheme. You can see guidance here:
Check if you have unused annual allowances on your pension savings
Thank you.
